Chapter 213. The Bottomless Pit That Consumed the Twisted Causality
As Shin Ju-ha effortlessly overcame the trials imposed by multiple Demon Kings using the power of Ars Goetia, practicing their abilities while descending deeper into the Bottomless Pit.
At the heart of that Abyss Realm, within Olympus—one of the great Divine Realms—a council of the Twelve Peaks convened for the first time in tens of thousands of years.
This was not a casual gathering where the Twelve Divine Beings would meet and exchange opinions lightly as usual. It was a summons issued by the command of Zeus, the king and ruler of Olympus, with binding force regardless of the outcome.
The last time such a council was convened, Heracles—the hero of Olympus and the ender of destruction—was born, the Gigantomachy against the giants erupted, and ultimately Heracles was sealed in Tartarus.
Therefore, the Twelve Divine Beings who bore the pillars of Olympus had no choice but to attend, no matter how uncomfortable or irritated they felt. This was an absolute command, as it was a right that could only be exercised three times in the lifetime of the Divine King.
And as expected, the bombshell Zeus dropped at this gathering was an agenda that exceeded all expectations.
【We shall reclaim the lost power of our primordial ancestors!】
As if expressing an iron will, he spewed forth mad ambition, his entire body radiating green electricity in a frenzied torrent—!!!
The eleven Divine Beings, excluding Zeus, opened their eyes wide and gazed at the lightning flickering across Zeus’s form.
It was green. Not the colorless, nearly yellow lightning of old, but a vivid, deep blue lightning!
Could such a thing be possible? No, of course it couldn’t.
To change the symbol that was both the alternate name and the very source of a Divine Being’s power was tantamount to casting aside everything they had accumulated and starting anew.
Of course, since he still possessed the original power of lightning and the power of the heavens intact, it wasn’t something to overreact about, but it was certainly remarkable.
The fact that an attribute had been added to the lightning clearly meant either that the source of his power had encountered a problem, or that he had accepted some other power.
If the former, the situation would become very serious. If the latter, it would be highly advantageous.
The shocked expressions of the Divine Seats gradually returned to normal. Who was Zeus? A thorough pragmatist, the embodiment of greed, and a being driven mad by desire—was he not?
He was an existence incapable of making choices that would harm himself!
Therefore, Zeus had suffered no loss from his lightning turning green.
No, the gains were certainly greater than any loss. Especially since it concerned lightning, which was nothing short of his very symbol.
And that was the truth. It was power that the Concept Divine Seat had strengthened without any problems, using his own power and causality.
The meeting of sky and earth. To correct myself: the meeting of the sky itself—one fragment of the heavens—and the meeting of lightning with earth.
The synergy had grown even greater from the meeting of two concepts that could be called the primordial ancestors of Olympus, and thus his power had risen transcendentally.
Now, most Divine Kings could not move an inch before Zeus. In the 1st Dimension alone, there were scarcely a handful of beings capable of defeating Zeus.
Therefore, Zeus believed even more in his own power and issued commands bordering on arrogance.
【We shall capture Shin Ju-ha! We shall reclaim the primordial power he possesses! We shall make Olympus the strongest force in this Divine Realm once more!】
Content that had already been discussed once. No, an agenda that had been attempted once, only to be struck back and subjected to humiliation bordering on disgrace, and subsequently abandoned.
Among the eleven Divine Seats, four of them—those who had directly participated in that affair and had their throats seized by Shin Ju-ha, who had drawn forth the power of the Concept Divine Seat, begging for their lives—furrowed their brows.
Divine Seat: The Wisdom of the Great Battlefield. True Name—Athena
Divine Seat: The Madman Tyrant of War. True Name—Ares
Divine Seat: The Creator of Twisted Form. True Name—Hephaestus
Divine Seat: The Formless Swift One, the Messenger of Information. True Name—Hermes
Even including Zeus, they did not constitute a majority. Due to the difference in power, fear, and the fact that the agenda had not been approved, they remained silent, suppressing their rage.
Therefore, at Zeus’s declaration, they most fervently hoped to cheer and repay the humiliation.
Naturally, where there is support, there is opposition. Especially when it concerns Divine Seats, each with enormous pride, conversing one by one.
But this was not a matter that could be stopped by such pride and individual thoughts.
【Are you now refusing to follow the great ordinance?】
A matter of binary choice. Even if Zeus had invoked the summit council, it was not easy to silence the opinions of the Seven.
Had he lacked the power and justification to do so. But the revenge against the humiliated Divine Beings of Olympus, and the recovery of the lost power of the previous generation—combined with the power and causality granted by Gaia.
These two factors created a situation sufficient for a tyrant to issue his command.
The Seven Divine Seats fell into contemplation. They reviewed the situation, calculating gains and losses, considering how it might affect them.
The statement that moved their hearts came from none other than Zeus, who had been issuing commands like a tyrant until moments before.
【There’s no need to worry so much! Right now, Shin Ju-ha cannot borrow the power of the Concept Divine Seat.】
At those words, the eyes of the eleven gathered deities widened. Unable to borrow the power of the Concept Divine Seat—yet even so, Shin Ju-ha was far from weak. Still, facing twelve opponents remained an overwhelming disadvantage.
【Is that true?】
To Apollo’s question—the most cautious and wise among the Olympus Divine Seats—Zeus offered a bitter smile and nodded to his son.
【Indeed. Shin Ju-ha has entered the Bottomless Pit to inherit Solomon’s final legacy.】
At Zeus’s words, the eyes of those gathered widened once more.
The Bottomless Pit! They all knew that name. Some had experienced it directly, others had merely heard tales. And so they understood what laws governed the interior.
【Then…?】
【Exactly. Shin Ju-ha’s power is currently sealed by the System. He’s only just entered, so he hasn’t even properly grown within it yet!】
What? The eyes of the twelve Divine Kings rolled rapidly. This changed everything.
After a brief silence.
Several Divine Seats who had previously feared Shin Ju-ha’s power and influence, watching their step and refraining from opposing him, were the first to switch their allegiance.
【Then it’s worth attempting. Recovering the legacy of the great Uranus is naturally the duty of the current Divine Kings of Olympus.】
【Yes, my son. A wise choice. Do not worry. When this matter concludes, the power of the heavens granted to you will be considerable.】
At Zeus’s promise, nearly a vow, the other deities moved.
Next came Artemis, the twin sister of Apollo who had switched first, pledging her loyalty to Zeus by changing her stance.
Following her, Poseidon—second only to Zeus in power among them—chose to defect, enticed by the prospect of receiving much of the source of the seas and the power of the heavens.
In an instant, five became nine. Only three remained.
The first was Hera, Zeus’s sister, the mistress of Olympus, and the one who despised Zeus more than anyone.
The second was Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, who had always abhorred such barbaric and messy disputes and conflict.
The last was Dionysus, the god of wine, who had heard of Shin Ju-ha through Midas—with whom he shared a connection—and harbored goodwill toward him.
Strictly speaking, the tide had turned. The remaining three gods held little sway in terms of power.
Zeus let out a laugh that bordered on mockery as he regarded the three who had not yielded to his demands.
【Foolish and dull creatures.】
【That would be you. Joining hands with a traitor of Olympus merely to seek revenge against a mere insect.】
At Hera’s words, the hopeful eyes of those who had chosen to defect dimmed momentarily.
Traitor. There was only one being in Olympus to whom that word applied. The Concept Divine Seat that had brought ruin to Olympus—once counted among the greatest of the Divine Realms, wielding immense authority.
A legendary mad Divine Seat who had killed her husband and half-destroyed Olympus to transcend her own insufficient talent and limitations.
Gaia, the Great Earth Mother.
The current twelve Divine Seats of the third generation might not know well, but Hera understood perfectly. After all, the fragments of power that Gaia had abandoned upon becoming a Concept Divine Seat had coalesced into her mother, Rhea.
And that fragment had once again brought chaos to Olympus, even seducing her son Zeus into annihilating his father Cronus, did it not?
Of course, Zeus had ultimately overcome those whispers and annihilated Rhea as well, but destroying a fragment was meaningless.
Grandfather Uranus. Father Cronus. Two Divine Kings who had made Olympus great—both brought to ruin by a single being: Gaia.
When her mother, the fragment Rhea, was annihilated, Hera had absorbed the remnants of that power, coming to govern aspects of abundance and the earth. Yet she had always regarded this power as unclean, restraining its use.
Had Zeus not taken Hera as his nominal wife to atone for his transgression, she might have been annihilated long ago under the stigma of being Gaia’s next incarnation.
And so she despised Gaia all the more. Even more than Zeus.
【Yes. So what of it? All she gains is one thing: the honor of recovering Uranus’s power. Do you truly think she, already a Concept Divine Seat, can so easily collect the power of the 1st Dimension? And do you think I, Zeus, would fall so easily to a traitor!】
It was foolish talk. Arrogant stupidity. But why else would one be a Concept Divine Seat?
【Grandmother merely received causality to reflect upon the sins of the past and pass down the legacy left to us, her descendants.】
Gaia had never been interested in Uranus’s power—something she had already consumed and tasted long ago. In truth, that power was destined to become hers.
She had already become one with the will of The Creator sleeping in the Golden Tower, merging with the very concept of the heavens themselves.
Zeus was merely a pawn to be used and discarded, yet he remained intoxicated by his own arrogance, convinced that he alone could escape Gaia’s seduction and grasp.
After grandfather Uranus and father Cronus, Gaia’s tendrils now extended toward her grandson Zeus.
Hera rose from her seat. Aphrodite and Dionysus also stood, using Hera—the sole entity capable of challenging royal authority—as their shield.
【If you abandon this space now, I will no longer recognize you as Olympus. You will lose everything you have ever possessed.】
【Now, Zeus, our tiresome bond ends here.】
Hera left without hesitation. It was the beginning of Olympus’s complete collapse.
